Turn The Rascals Out. 

[Copyrighted. All rights reserved.] 

In the papers oft' we read where Monopoly, in greed, 

Appropriates our public lands and mines, 

And, not content with such, claim that you should 

Get rich on digging coal at ninety cents a 

Ton. Now, if that was all, we would not 

Complain at all: but the worst, you will quickly 

Own, has yet to come: They make laws to 

Suit themselves, v^hile we must dig and 

Delve' neath a Pinkerton assassin and 

His gun. 

CHORUS. 

But if every man will contribute what he 
Can — your good will is all that we request; 
Just lend us your influence for one day 
At the polls, and Monopoly will find its doom 
At last. 

When election day comes round, and politics 

Is rife, you will find the politician 

In the front. AVith his bewitching smile, 

He will try you to beguile into his way of 

Thinking for a drink. He will say: You 

Know our man?- I suppose you vote for Sam? — 

You should support the ticket as it goes; — Try 

And get men in who have got lots of 

Tin, for in politics poor people stand 

No show.

Wha( is Cleveland about ? " Turn the rascals 
Out!" We hear this plaintive wail 
On every hand, and, 'tis plain for to be 
Seen, vampires are not all weaned who 
Seek office in our wealth-producing land. 
When the wage-workers throughout the realm 
Realize their power, the world may well 
Rejoice with me at last, — for class legislation 
Will be known, from pole to pole, as a 
Feature of the unforgotten past. 



All honest Knights throughout the land are 

Gaining every hour the esteem and confidence of weak I 

Their watchword, Arbitration! is pleasing unto all — 

It constitutes a jury in itself. Then, let 

Every man contribute what he can — your good 

Will is all that we request; just lend us 

Your influence for one day at the polls, 

And such rascals will go to jail at last.
